Sale of note for October 29th, 2006:
Vintage~15~Tandy Color Computer Video Games~w/ Booklets
A pretty nice, Fine collection of paks for the CoCo 3 and 1/2. Just about all the main ones are here for the CoCo 3. Sold for US$37.89.
Tandy 128k Color Computer 3 Mint in Box Rare HTF
A Fine Color Computer 3 still in the wrapper. Also had the less often seen red, white, and blue box. Missing the ECB manual, though. Sold for $41.00, a bit lower than the Fine CoCo 3 usually sells.
Unused In Box Tandy TRS-80 CoCo 16K Color Computer
Obviously a collectible and for Price Guide purposes, Fine condition. I would note, however, that the picture looks like the machine is faded and/or scratched. Perhaps just the photo or a reflection. The manuals also looked a bit yellowed. Sold for US$144.49, the highest price yet for a Fine 16K Color Computer.
Tandy TRS-80 Color Compter 2 Never Used New Condition
A Fine (though I'd almost called it Very Good) Color Computer 2, cat no 26-3136 ECB CoCo selling for US$31.49. That's a bit low for the 16K version, a bit high for the 64K version, according to the Price Guide history. Slight price adjustment, but would really need to know the memory configuration to make a proper adjustment.
Radio Shack Color Computer Model 26-3004A w/box
I call this one Very Good at least. But only sold for US$9.99, so the Price Guide was adjusted slightly.
Coco Clipboard Magazine Nov/Dec88 thru Sept/Oct89*RARE*
Six issues of the exceedingly rare CoCo Clipboard magazine. This was a latter CoCo magazine/newsletter. Unfortunately, I have no history on this one. Great find, though! Lot sold for US$36.55 and the Price Guide listing is the average per issue (in other words, very tentative).
DISK DRIVE FD-500 FOR THE TANDY TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER
Sold for US$26.00 which is considerably higher than the previous price of US$8.00. I adjusted the price guide up quite a bit (a little under midpoint for the two sales observed this year), reflecting the trend over the last year of drive controllers going for more and more. These aren't made any more and are getting rarer. And you have to have one to run floppies on a Color Computer.
MUSIC SYNTHESIZER FOR THE TANDY TRS-80 GAME COMPUTER
This sale of a Good Orchestra 90cc pak skews the price guide a bit. This was the older black version of the pak. The newer one has the CoCo 2/3 white case. This is the first time I recall seeing the black case version, so I added a new listing. Whether this is a new collectible or not remains to be seen. NOS copies of the white case version have been availabile for $15.00 or less for several months now. That this one, sans anything but the pak, would go for almost that price, and six bids to boot, gets it added to the "watch" list. Regardless, it is clearly the rarer version of this device.
Color Bonanza for TRS-80 Color Computer 50 Programs!!
This astonishing rarity was in about as Fine as you're likely to ever see. Beautiful cassettes, case and manual. Sold for US$56.00.
TRS-80 Froid! The Talking Psychologist
Really thought this would go for more, but a lot of the hard core collectors were heavily engaged in other high priced auctions. It requires the Spectrum Voice Pak, as well, so that may have been a factor. Sold for US$10.50.
The CoCo 3 continues to go up in price. After a poor showing this Summer, it's good to see the machine returning to market. Let's hope it's bringing in a lot of new/returning CoCoists! The CoCo 2 continues to sell strong. The CoCo 1 is selling better, and at higher prices, in highly collectible condition.
Angel's Luck,
Capt

Auctions of note for October 29th, 2006:
Dang. Had to go out of town all week and things got away from me. Mainly the spam though. 1500 spam mails. Ouch. Here's the good stuff for this last week. Some of this may be ending quick, so get in there if you're gonna.
We'll start off with the always popular "Auctions That Will Make You Pee Yourself" category:
Ultra Rare Bob Puppo CoCo Eagle/PC kb Interface
Oh man, when Sharkonwheels comes up with some rare stuff, he comes up with some RARE-assed stuff! Here's the original Puppo PC/AT keyboard interface board for the Color Computer. With docs. I just drooled on my keyboard. Egad!
Ultra Rare MicronEye CoCo Digitizer camera setup
And if the keyboard interface wasn't woody-worthy enough for ya, here's a complete Micron Technologies Micron Eye video digitizer for the CoCo. Are you feeling faint? Breath deeply... then bid your happy little brains out. :)
TANDY TRS-80 64K COLOR COMPUTER 2 VINTAGE 1982
Not collectible, but notable because it's shown working and reasonably priced. Make a great 64K ECB spare or parts.
VINTAGE TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER 2 64 K NO RESERVE
Another one.
TRS 80 Vintage Color Computer with Joystick R6-3004A
Another reasonably priced CoCo, for a spare or parts.
TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER II JOYSTICK w/ CCR 81 TAPE BACKUP
Winner of the most impressive (or annoying) auction listing for a Color Computer ever. :) Huge pictures, flashing backgrounds, and a mosnter video with sound of the CoCo playing. Dang. Hope he selles it. heh.
VINTAGE TRS-80 ART GALLERY FOR COLOR COMPUTER
A complete and Good copy of Art Gallery. Even has the tape and overlay for the original CoCo keyboard.
TRS-80 MUSIC game cart in box vintage radioshack
A pretty decent looking copy of Music in the box with the manual.
Tandy 64k Color Computer 2
Good CoCo 2 in the box with the manuals. Reasonably priced, as well. Unfortunately, can't make out the cat no from the pictures. If you need a specific catalog number, ask first.
TRS-80 Color Computer homebrew disk controller
A pretty cool item, even if it doesn't work. This is a homemade disk controller with the WD 2793 controller and ADOS installed. Even for just the ADOS Eprom and controller chip it might be worth a look. And as a collectible, well, they don't get much more collectible than one of a kind. :)
2 RADIO SHACK 64K COLOR COMPUTER 2's, DISK DRIVES ++
Nice lot! Shipping? Well, individually, yeah those items might all add up to $40.00 in shipping. But shipped together. Adding in my head, I'd say $25-$30 to most places in the U.S., but I'm guessing. Still it is a heck of a lot and if the bid goes low, might even be worth it.
Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 2
This one has a cute baby in the picture.
The Interbank Incident for Color Computer Disk
Good game. Appears complete.
vintage TRS-80 micro color computer model mc-10 NIB
A Very Fine 10er with trimmings. No, the Atari catalog doesn't belong. :)
Tandy Color Computer 3 Games - Rampage & Mind Roll
Here's what appears to be NOS Rampage and Mind Roll. I dont' have Mindroll. hmmm....
Mislisted
SUPER RARE TRS-80 TANDY CARTRIDGE POLTERGEIST SEALED!
Not sealed. :) And missing the manual. And doesn't look like an original price sticker to me. But otherwise, it IS a Poltergeist pak. So there you go...

10/21/06 Auctions of Note
Auctions of Note for 10/21/06:
Okay, let's get collectible! There's a few below that are for serious collectors. It's been awhile since we've seen a CoCo 3 and a CoCo 2 in these conditions, so have a look. :)
Vintage~Color Computer 3~Manual & Instructions~1986
Plenty of CoCo 3s selling recently without the manuals. Well, here they are. When I first got back into the CoCo it took me six freakin' months to get these. These are obviously used, but appear to be in great condition.
Vintage~15~Tandy Color Computer Video Games~w/ Booklets
Very nice and collectible lot of paks. If you want to jump start your collection with keepable copies, this looks like a good bet. Most of the CoCo 3 paks appear to be there and a few CoCo 1/2 paks as well.
Tandy 128k Color Computer 3 Mint in Box Rare HTF
Almost mint. :) But wow what a good looking CoCo. And in the rarer Red, white and blue box as well! Appears the Extended BASIC manual isn't present. Otherwise, sweetness.
Unused In Box Tandy TRS-80 CoCo 16K Color Computer
What? Another very collectible condition CoCo? And this one a becoming-rarer-by-the-minute Color BASIC only machine? With everything included and still wrapped up in the factory wrappers? Yup. :) Now, will anyone go for the starting bid? I'm thinking no, but I've been surprised too often to say so.
Tandy TRS-80 Color Compter 2 Never Used New Condition
But wait! There's more! :) Here's a 26-3126 ECB CoCo 2, with the works, in very nice condition. The seller even shows it working. Again, the starting bid might scare some off, but we've seen worse CoCo 2s go for a lot more recently.
Tandy TRS-80 TRS80 CoCo MC-10 Serial Cable 26-3020 NOS
Tandy TRS-80 TRS80 Cassette Recorder Cable 26-1207 NOS
A couple of (New Old Stock) CoCo related cables. Not sure how collectible these are (ya never know), and the price is on the high side, perhaps. But if you need them, perhaps not.
NIB Shanghai game for Tandy computers
Great puzzle/strategy game for the CoCo 3 (try it on Roy's RGB-to-VGA adaptor, or Hawksofts' S-Video adapter... wow!) new in the box. Great playing, or a great collectible to add to the collection.
Vintage Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer Mouse MIB/NR!!
The good old ball o' steel Color Mouse. You could take the track ball out of this thing and whack someone with it. Seriously. heh...

10/18/06 Auctions of Note
Auctions of note for October 18th, 2006:
No really. There is a Price Guide update coming. Really. Really, really. I've got so many CoCo projects going on it's insane. :) Fun, but a bit nutty and right when work gets goofy stupid. Lovely. Work straightens out again here in about 2 weeks and then I can relax and get caught up on the CoCo stuff. More over on the Hut in a bit.
'nuff of that nonsense. Let's get to the collecting stuff...
*Collectables* TRS-80 Color Computer with Retail Box
Collectible? The freakin' power cord is taped on! Hey, nothin' says folks with giant balls can't post on eBay, right? :) Remember folks, don't drink and eBay.
Tandy 128K Color Computer 3 TRS-80 Beautiful Shape
Hey, I think the CoCo 3 is beautiful no matter what. Shipping is high, so bid accordingly.
Coco Clipboard Magazine Nov/Dec88 thru Sept/Oct89*RARE*
Yummy one. Never observed selling (two and half years now). Always wanted to try this one. Should have some good CoCo 3 and OS/9 stuff in 'em.
HOT COCO Magazine December 1985-color computer *RARE*
Only a single mag, but Hot CoCo has been so rare lately it's worth a note.
THE 4TH RAINBOW BOOK OF ADVENTURES & 2 X 5 1/4" DISKS
From Down Under, a copy of this excellent collection. Worth it in just about any condition.
Tandy Color Computer Modem Pak w/box and manual
A Direct Connect modem pak in Good to Very Good condition. Not sure what would be used for now-a-days, but if you need one for the collection, the price seems reasonable.
Color Computer Magazine November 83 & January 84 *RARE*
Couple copies of The Color Computer Magazine. Excellent magazine, even if it was #3. Also pretty scarce lately.
The Interbank Incident for Color Computer Disk
The Microscopic Mission for Color Computer 3 disk coco
GFL Championship Football II color computer coco
Three programs from the same seller (frequent CoCo seller). Interbank Incident is brillant. When it was released for the CoCo 2 in '85 it was one of the most remarkable games seen. Full mouse control and an icon based user interface. Point and click before point and click was cool. Microscopic Mission is one I still haven't fired up since a boy, but I remember it fondly (my copy is Mint and I'm loath to break the seal). Every wonder why GFL Football seems to be listed in Mint or Near Mint so often? Game sucked. We're talking a Hoover, cept not in a good way. Gak. (Okay, I know, technically vacuums don't actually suck. "Science might blow, but it never ever sucks.)
DISK DRIVE FD-500 FOR THE TANDY TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER
Not collectible, but if you're building a disk system to use, this'll do the job.
LOT OF 39 TANDY COLOR COMPUTER VIDEO GAMES 1 2 3 TRS-80
Not collectible either, but big. If you just want some paks to cram in your CoCo, this too will do the job. :)
Tandy color computer kids software
Two collectible grade educational disks. Seriously, this is a neglected area of for modern CoCo. Kids love CoCos! Time to start indoctrinating the next generation of CoCo Nuts.
Tandy 64K Color computer includes cassette and 3 games
Love this one. Not loving the shipping. This is 26-3003B, "The 64K" CoCo and the last design before the CoCo 2 premiered in 1983.
VINTAGE TRS-80 COLOR COMPUTER DISK SYSTEM OWNERS MANUAL
Took me forever to get one of these. Sheesh! It's a handy manual to have around.
Mislisted:
Tandy TRS-80 128K Color Computer 3 Typing Tutor Cart.
!@#$&*ing thing. If you learned to type on a CoCo like I did, well, I'm sorry.
Radioshack Tandy Color Computer 2, Manuals,& MORE !
Cheap CoCo 2 with some trimmings.
TRS-80 COLOR LOGO COMPUTER GAME & BOOK & 2X EXTRA BOOKS
Pretty dang rare extra books for the Color Logo pak. These are from Australia. Don't remember these at all here in the States. Hmmm...
Not A CoCo, Dept:
Realistic TR-881 8 Track Tape Recorder Tandy Vintage
Oh Yeah Baby! And yeah, I'm actually Watching this one. heh :)
Tune in and Stay tuned!

10/8/06 Auctions of Note
Auctions of note for October 8th, 2006:
Hoo-boy, it's heatin' up again! Gotta love it. Plenty of Color Computer love for your collecting pleasure, so let's get started...
2 Tandy Color Computer 3 cartridge games w/manuals
Couple of nice paks. Castle isn't as good as the original Dungeons of Daggorath, but it's worth playing through for a bit. Can't believe it, but I've never played Robocop. Hope it's better than Predator. Yuk.
Tandy color computer 2 games
Flight Sim I and Gwana Bwana in worth having condition. Flight Sim I is actually fun if you're into that retro flying thing. Play it on a CoCo 1 for the real experience. Gwana Bwana is an excellent CoCo 1 and 2 game. It needs to be modified to work correctly in color on the CoCo 3. The update was published in The Rainbow, but I forget which one. I'll see if I can find it, if anyone wants. Or print the BASIC loader from the modified copy I have. Anyhow, it talks if you have the Speech/Sound pak and the higher skill levels are a blast. Actually, I have a harder time finishing on the beginner skill level than on the higher setting. Go figure.
Rainbow Magazine's for the tandy color computer
Big ass lot of Rainbows including the rare last run. Expect heavy shipping. They tend to be hefty.
Kyum-Gai: To be Ninja for Coco Color Computer 3
Warp Fighter 3-D Steve Bjork for Coco Color Computer 3
The Shadow Disk Steve Bjork for Coco Color Computer 3
SinistaaR Disk Game for 512K Coco Color Computer 3
Word Power 3.1 Coco Color Computer 3
Sierra King's Quest 3 Disk Game Coco Color Computer 3
Radio Shack Interbank Incident Game Coco Color Computer
Burke & Burke Hyper-I/O 2.3 coco color computer
Whew. This is the kind of auction that makes my credit card sweat. There's enough CoCo goodness here, from the same seller, to make any CoCoist drool. As you can see above, there's a few exceedinly rare CoCo 3 items in there that have literally not come up for auction in years. Good stuff!
Radio Shack TRS-80 computer in original box!
Good looking, near mint CoCo 2. Can't tell if it's complete but the box, wrappers and manual appear to be present. Potential collectible unit here.
VINTAGE TRS-80 TANDY TRIVIA FEVER NO RESERVE
Apparently complete Trivia Fever. Price is a bit high and the shipping would be high as well (it's a heavy box loaded with stuff). Still, if you need a nice looking copy it might be worth a look.
Tandy Color Computer COCO 3 + FD 501 Disk Drive + Books
Not necessarily a collectible lot, but a very nice system. If you need a CoCo 3 to get started on, this one seems to have everything you need.
Massive Lot of Tandy CoCo Software 300+ Disks & Games!
From the same seller, an entire collection of software. Some of the stuff listed is remarkable rare. Buying the two together would pretty much set you up as far retro CoCoing goes. Some highly collectible items in this lot. These lots tend to grab a lot of bids and some pretty stellar prices, so if you're gonna take a wack, get in there and get it done soon.
VINTAGE TRS-80 SHANGHAI AND THEXDER 128 K NO RESERVE
Two nicely boxed games, both are a load of fun. And a nice contrast as well. Shanghai is a tile game for the thinker. Thexder is a dodge and smash twitch fest for the coffee addict in the house.
DRAGON 32/64 & TANDY COCO MAGAZINES (VERY RARE)
Some exceedinly rare mags for the Dragon and CoCo. Looks like a pretty tasty lot from the U.K.
Twin Dragon 32/64 Cumana disk drives + disks
dragon dragon sent in this one. The auctions over but I thought it was pretty cool. And we think CoCo stuff gets expensive? Apparently disk drives for the Dragon are even more rare!
Okay, so another price update (finally) coming up. The teasers are: The CoCo 2 is still selling steadily. More CoCo 3s have been showing up quite a bit. We'll wait until the current round ends next Sunday, but at the moment the base machine itself has gone up to about $45.00 each on average! Quite a bit more depending on the extras included and completeness of the system. I think it's just nice to see them listing again and available.
Collector News:
The new eBay My World pages are in test now. These are way better and way cooler than the old About Me pages. You can see mine here as a sample, or hop over to http://myworld.ebay.com to set up your own.

Whew. This is the kind of auction that makes my credit card sweat. There's enough CoCo goodness here, from the same seller, to make any CoCoist drool. As you can see above, there's a few exceedinly rare CoCo 3 items in there that have literally not come up for auction in years. Good stuff!
Radio Shack TRS-80 computer in original box!
Good looking, near mint CoCo 2. Can't tell if it's complete but the box, wrappers and manual appear to be present. Potential collectible unit here.
VINTAGE TRS-80 TANDY TRIVIA FEVER NO RESERVE
Apparently complete Trivia Fever. Price is a bit high and the shipping would be high as well (it's a heavy box loaded with stuff). Still, if you need a nice looking copy it might be worth a look.
Tandy Color Computer COCO 3 + FD 501 Disk Drive + Books
Not necessarily a collectible lot, but a very nice system. If you need a CoCo 3 to get started on, this one seems to have everything you need.
Massive Lot of Tandy CoCo Software 300+ Disks & Games!
From the same seller, an entire collection of software. Some of the stuff listed is remarkable rare. Buying the two together would pretty much set you up as far retro CoCoing goes. Some highly collectible items in this lot. These lots tend to grab a lot of bids and some pretty stellar prices, so if you're gonna take a wack, get in there and get it done soon.
VINTAGE TRS-80 SHANGHAI AND THEXDER 128 K NO RESERVE
Two nicely boxed games, both are a load of fun. And a nice contrast as well. Shanghai is a tile game for the thinker. Thexder is a dodge and smash twitch fest for the coffee addict in the house.
DRAGON 32/64 & TANDY COCO MAGAZINES (VERY RARE)
Some exceedinly rare mags for the Dragon and CoCo. Looks like a pretty tasty lot from the U.K.
Twin Dragon 32/64 Cumana disk drives + disks
dragon dragon sent in this one. The auctions over but I thought it was pretty cool. And we think CoCo stuff gets expensive? Apparently disk drives for the Dragon are even more rare!
Okay, so another price update (finally) coming up. The teasers are: The CoCo 2 is still selling steadily. More CoCo 3s have been showing up quite a bit. We'll wait until the current round ends next Sunday, but at the moment the base machine itself has gone up to about $45.00 each on average! Quite a bit more depending on the extras included and completeness of the system. I think it's just nice to see them listing again and available.
Collector News:
The new eBay My World pages are in test now. These are way better and way cooler than the old About Me pages. You can see mine here as a sample, or hop over to http://myworld.ebay.com to set up your own.

News: CoCo Collector Message Board
After much deliberation, angst, gnashing of the teeth, thoughful consideration and Zen like contemplation... okay, on whim... I've restarted the bulletin board at Capt's CoCo Hut.
Why?
Well, you know I asked myself that as well. The first reason is a got hold of some really neat bulletin board software and installed it on the server. Which, really, is good enough reason. :) But I also think that it could hurt to have a place to actually carry on conversations about collecting and aquiring CoCos. This doesn't supplant comments to the blog, feel free to comment on any post you like, but should suppliment it by making it easier to hold a threaded discussion. So, if you're inclined and you'd like to chat CoCo collecting, pop by and have a PEEK.

Oh, you can chat about anything else you'd like as well.
